Most of the rhododendrons in the garden
were grown from cuttings in the above Nearing Frames.After rooting,
they were placed under lath for a year or two, and then set out
in the field above.Some were sold, and the rest filled the beds throughout
the garden. For the first few years, the beds themselves (below)
served as storage areas. Most plants in the garden have been
moved several times.The beds have covered about half of the hayfield,
and the lawn has just been seeded.
